(65 ILCS 5/11-129-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-129-3)
Sec. 11-129-3.
The corporate authorities of any municipality availing
itself of the provisions of this Division 129 shall adopt an ordinance
describing in a general way the contemplated project. If it is intended to
purchase an existing waterworks or water supply system, the ordinance shall
describe in a general way the system to be purchased. If it is intended to
build a waterworks or water supply system or to improve or extend a
waterworks or water supply system owned and operated by the municipality,
the ordinance shall describe in a general way the waterworks or water
supply system to be constructed or the improvements or extensions to be
made. It shall not be necessary that the ordinance refer to plans and
specifications nor that there be on file for public inspection prior to the
adoption of such ordinance detailed plans and specifications of the
project. The ordinance shall set out the estimated cost of the project,
determine its period of usefulness, and fix the amount and maturities of
water revenue bonds proposed to be issued, the interest rate, and all
details in respect thereof. The ordinance may contain such covenants and
restrictions upon the issuance of additional revenue bonds thereafter as
may be deemed necessary or advisable for the assurance of payment of the
bonds thereby authorized and as may be thereafter issued.
Revenue bonds issued under this Division 129 shall be payable solely
from the revenue derived from the operation of the waterworks or water
supply system on account of which the bonds are issued; provided, that
bonds issued under this Division 129 may also be payable from funds pledged
by the municipality issuing such bonds pursuant to the
Illinois Finance Authority Act. Notwithstanding any
such
pledge or any other matter, these bonds shall
not in any event constitute an indebtedness of the municipality within the
meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation and it shall be so
stated on the face of each bond.
